" Khamenei, one of the most evil people in history, is dead . This is not only justice for the Iranian people, but for all great Americans and for those people in many countries around the world who were killed or maimed by Khamenei and his band of bloodthirsty criminals": this is how Donald Trump announced the death of the Iranian leader on Truth , news later confirmed a few hours later on the former Supreme Leader's X account. "In the name of Ali, peace be upon him."
A raid conducted with utmost precision by the American and Israeli military : the headquarters of the Iranian Supreme Leader was the first target of the attack yesterday morning and was razed to the ground. Then the photo of the body was released by Israeli intelligence.
HERE IS ALL THE NEWS ABOUT THE ATTACK ON IRAN
www.unionesarda.it/tags/geolocalizzazione/iranIf the stated goal of the US and Israel was regime change in Iran, Leader Ali Khamenei was necessarily among the targets of the raids on the country. And so it was: after a day of rumors and denials, news of his elimination arrived.
Ever since last year's 12-Day War, Tehran's current leaders had been expecting a new Israeli-American attack, and according to several regime sources, the leader himself has developed a contingency plan to ensure the system's survival even if he were assassinated or kidnapped, as happened to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. This initiative reflects the extensive organizational skills that allowed Khamenei to strengthen his command network across all the system's key hubs—starting with the Pasdaran, the Revolutionary Guards—during his 37 years as Rahbar (Guide), thus compensating for his limited religious credentials.
When the founder of the Islamic Republic, Ruhollah Khomeini, selected him as his successor in 1989, Khamenei wasn't even an ayatollah. The choice, as Khomeini himself explained, fell on him because of his political abilities, deemed more important than his spiritual ones. And Khamenei asserted them, further consolidating his power, despite the intolerance of many great Shiite ayatollahs, particularly those from the important Iraqi theological schools. The Iranian political-military leadership, led by Khamenei, managed to maintain the chain of command even during last year's war, when, for security reasons, the Leader was isolated in a secret hideout and his use of the internet and other means of communication had to be limited to a minimum.
Sources within the regime told the New York Times that the 86-year-old Khamenei had learned from that experience and moved on, leaving the necessary instructions to be followed even in the event of his death. In that case, according to these sources, the regime's survival would rest directly with Ali Larijani. Appointed secretary of the National Security Council last August, Larijani is one of the leading figures of pragmatic conservatism in Iran and belongs to a family whose history is inextricably linked to that of the Islamic Republic.
